How Tumblr Makes You Smarter

Waste time while you learn? Who could ask for more!

Jun 08, 2015

If you're like me, you probably spend most of your time on Tumblr aimlessly scrolling through posts, avoiding your responsibilities. But what if your dashboard could inspire you to finally read the required text, or organize the pile of papers that is supposed to be a desk? Enter the world of studyblrs.

Imagine a dashboard full of photos like this.

This community of bloggers is home to a number of medical students, law students and Ph.D. candidates. There are even a few vanilla students (much like us plebeians) who will inspire you to sit down and get to work.

One way to find these studying aficionados is to search the tag #studyblr. Another popular tag is #studyspo. Or you could use this short list I have compiled to introduce you to this community.

This girl has got her stuff together, she is one of the most well known studyblrs and has a number of awesome printables that you can used to organize your own life.

Though she is not 100% a studyblr, Airi is a great way to ease yourself into this new world.

As someone who is horrible at math I normally avoid people who are good at it, but Mabel has made me appreciate the work that is needed for engineering and has some great tips on how to stay on task.

Ever since I saw "Mighty Joe Young" on the Disney channel as kid, I have considered primatologist to be super cool. That might be one of the reasons I love this blog because she is going to school to be one. Beyond that, her blog features inspiring pictures and great advice.

This girl has some great tutorials on note taking that can make your life so much easier.

As I mentioned above, a lot of the bloggers in this community are med students, and this blog is a great representation of the group. Be prepared to be inspired and super jealous.

Last, but definitely not least, this blog is frequently updated and features everything you could need to start studying more efficiently.

This list is, by no means, a complete representation of the community but it is a list of the most frequently updated blogs that I follow, and I think it is a great foundation to a great studyblr dominated dashboard.

While it is summer, this is a great way for you to do something to prepare for fall semester. If you have a favorite studyblr blog, tweet me at @heatherlanapr and let me know!

The world is not always sunshine and rainbows, and you do not have to be, either.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.

11 Ways To Live The Best Life You Can

Life is full of twists and turns, but you have to keep going.

Sam Houston State University

Life is all about twist and turns, sideways and which ways. Nothing is permanent, so we should take risks, and chase our dreams. We are taught at a young age many lessons that will follow us into adulthood. What we aren't taught is how to feel, and how we handle those emotions. We just have to figure them out ourselves, and that's not fun. In my 21 years of living, I have come to know that way too many people can't handle emotions, or the fact that not everyone is dead inside like them. When you're like me, and you have zero control over your emotions, it's hard to feel comfortable around people who aren't so in touch with themselves. As much as I would like to feel nothing at times, I've accepted who I am and the fact that I can cry over practically nothing. So, there are some things in life that you just have to do.

The world is not always sunshine and rainbows, and you do not have to be, either.

It would be so much easier to just pay someone to do it for you

1. Figuring out when to start

2. Searching through list after list to get everything you need

3. Shopping for deals

4. Getting bins to put everything in

5. Figuring what you can’t live without

6. Going through clothes to find what you need

7. Finding out your siblings took something from you

8. Fighting with your parents.

9. Trying to plan things with your roommate

10. The fear of forgetting something

11. Move in day

Relatable moments from one of the best shows I have ever watched.

1. When you fail that midterm you studied so hard for.

2. When your crush finally texts back.

3. When payday comes around.

4. When you accidentally like someone's picture from 108 weeks ago.

5. When someone takes your unassigned assigned seat.

6. When your favorite character in your favorite TV series dies.

7. When that guy/girl you’ve been crushing on agrees to go on a date with you.

8. When you have so much to do, and such little motivation to do it.

9. When someone asks for your last fry.

10. When you try a new health-food craze.

11. When you get new clothing.

12. When you check your bank account.

13. When they're serving good food in the dining hall.

14. When someone tries to tell you what to do.

15. Or just your thoughts about life in general.

We all have that "I don't care" attitude.

1. Most students just take life day by day.

2. That means procrastinating, one day at a time.

3. College students don't mind dressing like crap sometimes.

4. In fact, dressing nice feels weird.

5. College students get so stressed that they contemplate dropping on a daily basis.

6. But most find another solution to deal with that stress.

7. And that solution can be pretty cheap. Anything over $5 is expensive.

8. One of the only things college students will spend money on is coffee.

9. College is just really expensive and you never forget how expensive it is.

10. But hey, we're getting a somewhat high-quality education, right?

11. We all really just want to pet dogs all day.

12. And eat pizza for every meal.

13. And stab the next person who asks us what we want to do with our life.

14. However, despite the stress and student loans, college is amazing and there's plenty of reasons to smile.

Thank you, April, for inspiring us with your wicked relatability.

Life is full of twists and turns, but you have to keep going.

1. Wallow.

2. Cry.

3. Get Angry.

4. Tell Someone You Love Them.

5. Forgive.

6. Let go of the negative people in your life.

7. Be yourself.

8. Swallow Your Pride.

9. Stop Freaking Out Over Your Body.

10. Say No.

11. Accept Love.
